Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program leans on a broad cocktail list: 11 Signature Martinis and 13 Louie's Cocktails, plus sangrias by the glass or pitcher. Named drinks include The Dirty with Ketel One, olive brine, and a house-stuffed blue cheese olive; Dark Manhattan with Bulleit Bourbon, Averna Amaro, orange bitters, and orange peel; and Mean Bean, an espresso martini with Smirnoff Vanilla, Mr. Black, house-made brown sugar syrup, and espresso. A Free Spirited / Zero Proof section lists Island Hopper and Pineapple Upside Down Margarita. Several cocktails are marked NEW!, including Dark Manhattan, Dragon Fruit Margarita, Loaded Jarritos, and Pina Rita.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Dark Manhattan, a Bulleit Bourbon and Averna Amaro drink with orange bitters and orange peel, or The Dirty, built on Ketel One with olive brine and a house-stuffed blue cheese olive. For a zero-proof option, the Pineapple Upside Down Margarita uses Ritual Tequila Alternative, vanilla, pineapple, lime, grenadine, and Sprite.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone looking for a long, specific cocktail menu with martinis, margaritas, mojitos, and sangrias, plus a dedicated zero-proof section. The range covers spirit-forward, sour, and fruity builds.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Menu lists a +1 charge for adding Don Julio Reposado or Bulleit Bourbon to the Mean Bean and for adding strawberry, mango, or passionfruit to the Dos Sauza Margarita. No other pricing is listed.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of 11 Signature Martinis, 13 Louie's Cocktails, sangrias by the glass or pitcher, and a two-drink Free Spirited / Zero Proof section gives the menu unusual breadth for a cocktail bar. The Dirty's house-stuffed blue cheese olive and the Mean Bean's espresso build are specific, named points of difference.
